Parents’ perspectives are complex
and are usually filtered through the
needs and characteristics of their
children:
• The use of Child Profile facilitates
communication during yearly
transitions with teachers
• The daily horizontal transi-
tions cause children the
most frequent difficulty if
not negotiated effectively
• An identify-observe-explore
strategy is aiding the children
to catch up with new environ-
ments
Parents need to be involved in
the planning and implementa-
tions of strategies that facilitate
transitions
